Explore the power of language:
Singular
Delight in tempting tongue teasers in “Alphabetic” then “Linger” in a luxurious mansion where a love affair went sour. “Debunk” the myth that beauty is something we must buy rather than something that comes from within. Every poem in this section tells the deeper story behind a single word.
Human Condition
Feel the anguish of “The Sculptor in Gray” as the face of lost love takes shape in clay. Hear the idle gossip from the saucy tongue of “The Washer Woman”. Relive the relief of coming home from a long road trip as you travel “Uncharted Miles”. These poems tell the human story through unique characters and familiar settings that make us think about being human…and what our response should be when humanity is lacking.
Nature’s Call
Voyage to the watery depths to hear a “Whale Song” and stay to witness the destructive might of “Kraken”. Check out the misadventures of a curious lizard when “Chameleon Checks In”. Join the gardener’s battle against the ever-present evil of “Weeds”. These poems not only honor nature but remind us of the need to do our part in protecting Earth.
Childish
See your fairy tale favorites from new points of view in “Cinderella Bystanders” and “Mrs. Big Bad Wolf”. Remember the thrill of your “First Zoo Visit” and the terror of that “First Speech”. These poems celebrate childhood in the schoolyard, in the comfy chaos of a child’s room and through the realms of imagination.
